Welcome! Thank you for joining the American College of Physicians’ Quality Connect Adult Immunization Learning Series Webinar! We will start in a few minutes. Today’s webinar is focused on influenza, vaccinating patients 65+, and clarification on the LAIV change. Please keep your phone on mute, when not asking questions, we are recording this webinar. Feel free to ask questions in the chat feature of WebEx. ACP will share the slides and recorded webinar on MedConcert.
Today’s Speaker William Schaffner, MD, MACP Professor of Preventive Medicine and Infectious Diseases Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Webinar Overview Focused on the 2016 – 2017 influenza season Learn tips on reaching your 65+ year old patients and what vaccines to use Understand and learn information on the LAIV vaccine change

INFLUENZA VACCINE
INFLUENZA VACCINES VACCINE COMMENT Trivalent IM Intradermal Recombinant Standard Age 18 - 64 No egg High Dose 65+ Adjuvant Quadrivalent IM Cell culture LAIV Added B strain Minimal egg Do not use this season
VACCINE Effectiveness Our patients (and we) want: Side effects = 0 Effectiveness = 100% Effectiveness varies by year, age, underlying illness, each viral strain Age 15 - 64 62 - 76% Age 65+ 26 - 52% Prevention: hospitalization, ICU, death transmission to others
Influenza Deaths Averted Foppa et al. Vaccine 33 (2015) 3003–3009
Number Needed to Vaccinate Number Needed to Vaccinate to Prevent One Influenza Hospitalization or Case with Increasing Vaccine Effectiveness, US 2014-15 Influenza Season Number Vaccinated Biggerstaff et al. CDC unpublished data. 2016
Recommendation for Vaccinating 65+ First Influenza Vaccine Recommendation By Surgeon General Burney in: Public Health Rep. 1960 Oct;75(10):944.
Percent of Population 65+ Projected Administration on Aging. http://www.aoa.acl.gov/Aging_Statistics/future_growth/future_growth.aspx#age
High-Dose Influenza Vaccine (Fluzone-HD, Sanofi-Pasteur) 4X the HA content (60 mcg) of standard vaccine (15 mcg) of each strain Trivalent During 2015 - 16 season, about 50% of immunized seniors
High-Dose Influenza Vaccine Post-licensure Efficacy Trial Relative efficacy vs standard Overall + 24.2% Age 65 - 74 + 19.7% 75+ + 32.0% Hospitalization (all cause) + 6.9% Serious cardio-resp events + 17.7% Pneumonia (30 days) + 39.8% CHF + 24.0% Cerebrovascular events + 6.5%
High-Dose Influenza Vaccine Post-licensure Efficacy Trial Relative efficacy vs standard No frailty condition 34% 1 frailty condition 27.5% 2 frailty conditions 23.9% 3+ frailty conditions 16%
Adjuvanted Influenza Vaccine (Fluad, Seqirus) Oil-in-water adjuvant (MF59) Squalene – biodegradable intermediate precursor cholesterol biosynthetic pathway Worldwide - licensed in 30+ countries 100 million+ doses
Adjuvanted Influenza Vaccine Relative immunogenicity Adjuvanted vs standard vaccine (16 RCT) Viral strain H1N1 + 9.5% H3N2 + 10.5% B + 12.7%
Adjuvanted Influenza Vaccine Open, comparative, observational study (Italy) 25% reduction in hospitalizations Prospective, community, case-control (Canada) Overall enhanced effectiveness: 35%
Decision Not to Recommend the Use of Live, Attenuated Nasal Spray Influenza Vaccine this Season
US Flu VE Network, Ages 2-17 Any influenza A or B 2010-11 Mixed 2011-12 H3N2 2012-13 2013-14 H1N1 2014-15 2015-16 LAIV 71 67 46 -1 3 IIV 55 45 60 15 63 LAIV 3 LAIV 4 IIV3 IIV 3/4
2015-2016: Summary of US Data US Flu VE: No LAIV effectiveness vs H1N1 DOD: No LAIV effectiveness vs H1N1 AstraZeneca: LAIV effectiveness vs H1N1 not significant Significant VE for IIV All studies reported higher VE for IIV than LAIV
Hypotheses Suboptimal performance of the H1N1 component Possible interference among viruses in quadrivalent vaccine Reduced immunogenicity of LAIV because children now more highly vaccinated
ACIP VOTE For the 2016-2017 influenza vaccination season, LAIV is not recommended.
EGG ALLERGY Numerous studies (over 5,000 pts) US and European Allergy Societies “Egg allergy does NOT impart increased risk of anaphylactic reaction to immunization with either IIV or LAIV”
EGG ALLERGY Eats eggs OK HIVES often after eggs Severe reaction after eggs Previous severe reaction to vaccine Vaccinate as usual RIV or Vaccinate as usual and observe for 30 minutes vaccinate as usual and observe for 30 minutes; experienced physician Contraindication to vaccine
